Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a death warrant scheduling Victor Jones’ execution for September 30, 2025 for the 1990 murders of Matilda Nestor and Jacob Nestor. This is the 13th execution set in Florida this year - a recent record.

Call Governor DeSantis at 850-717-9337 with the following message:

"Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to express my concern about the direction Florida is headed with regards to the death penalty. Florida has beat its own record and has now executed more individuals this year than in any previous year. True accountability does not require mirroring the violence you claim to want to stop and denies the power of redemption."

We believe in accountability, but true accountability does not require execution. A sentence of life without the possibility of parole protects society while also recognizing the human capacity for redemption and the role of childhood trauma in shaping adult behavior.

Florida does not need the death penalty to be safe. This execution will not make us safer, it will simply add another act of violence to an already tragic story. Justice does not require death. Florida's continued use of executions marks the state as an outlier in its use of the death penalty. The majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions.

Please sign the petition asking Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida State Board of Executive Clemency to do everything within their power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.
